VanDerStok v. Garland Challenge to ATF’s ‘Frame or Receiver’ Rule Update

Because the parties contest the utility of a completed classification request, the Court DENIES Defendants’ Motion and CLARIFIES that the current injunction precludes Defendants from concluding its classification determination with respect to Tactical’s product. [More]

My legally unqualified two cents: This is a hopeful development and it has the potential, in the end, to stop a lot of the Constitutionally-unauthorized tyrannical rule nonsense in its tracks, but it only applies to this limited case and there’s still a long way to go.

GOA and GOF Legal Updates

Gun Owners of America (GOA) and Gun Owners Foundation (GOF) secured a preliminary injunction yesterday against a Winchester, VA ordinance that prohibits the possession, carry, or transportation of firearms at public parks and in public areas where approved demonstrations are occurring. [More]

You take a look at the history of the place and you’ve just gotta shake your head at what those who live there now have done to it.

UPDATE

Also in this post:

Philadelphia, PA – Yesterday, lame-duck Mayor Jim Kenney signed an executive order prohibiting individuals from lawful carry at all City of Philadelphia recreational facilities. The mayor’s actions are in clear violation of Pennsylvania law prohibiting these types of local gun restrictions. Within hours of Mayor Kenney’s signing ceremony, Gun Owners of America (GOA) filed a lawsuit to enjoin enforcement of this illegal gun regulation.

Your Tax Dollars at Work

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which recently said that questioning official narratives on matters like coronavirus policies constitutes a terrorist threat, has awarded nearly $700,000 to left-wing researchers to study radicalization in video games, with a focus on “white supremacy.” [More]

Seems kind of like a bullet fee, doesn’t it?

Speaking of Disturbingly Persistent Ideas…

“Elegant and important essay by @RepRaskin debunking the disturbingly persistent idea that the 2nd Am gives citizens the right to take up arms against the government.” [More]

For being an “LATimes Legal Affairs Columnist. Former US Attorney, DOJ official. Teach con law at UCSD& UCLA” you’d think this f***ing idiot would know the Second Amendment doesn’t “give” any rights.

As for Marxist weasel Raskin, the rotten fruit doesn’t fall far from the corrupt tree.

It’s funny that the Democratic Underground uses a web archive link to avoid the NYT paywall. It’s dangerous that no one there understands the basics of the most egalitarian power-sharing arrangement ever devised.

Hunting Council Masks Hostility to Founding Intent with Gun Banner’s Appointment

“Busse was listed as ‘unaffiliated,’ but that is not true… He is an advisor for the Giffords gun control group and has openly advocated the ban on the most popular selling centerfire rifle in America…” [More]

Yeah, put the fox in charge of the henhouse. What could go wrong?

We’re the Only Ones Excuse-Making Enough

“The number of guys who say, ‘I don’t agree with what’s going on here, but I’ve got three years to retire,’ it’s heartbreaking,” he told podcast host Dan Bongino. [More]

Gee, they should have tried that defense at Nuremberg.

They get no sympathy from me.

I’ve quit jobs before when I couldn’t stomach what was going on. I’ve refused to do things that could have gotten me fired when they conflicted with my principles. All with a family to support and no guaranteed lifeline visible.

And I’ve known men who have put their careers on the line to expose institutional corruption.

AMA Assault Science Weapon of Choice in Mass Shillings

Mass public shootings in the US account for a small fraction of all firearm-related homicides, but have an outsized role in stoking the public’s concern with firearm violence. [More]

Yeah, thanks to elites-funded hysterical “agenda science” amplified by an equally hysterical (and reliably ignorant) DSM.

Doctrinaire disarmament propagandists Philp J. Cook and John Donahue (Piled Higher and Deepers each) sure use a lot of words to spook the herd on a threat that takes fewer lives than fists and feet. And the gunquacks (funny, we were just talking about them) at the equally agenda-driven AMA are delighted for another chance to posture and preen as leaders.

Those are my broad strokes on the matter. I’m hoping our friends Miguel A. Faria, Jr., M.D. and the good docs at DRGO decide to give us something more scholarly to push back with…

Hat tip to John Richardson, who sent me this information, and has put together quite a nice write-up that factors in Bruen. This is one of the things I like about those in “our movement” who do it right– the object is to help each other fight the best fight possible.

Panel to Stalin: Hold Our Beers

Health Panel Recommends Anxiety Screening For All Adults Under 65 [More]

Sometimes, the old ideas are the best ones!

I don’t have time to check political sympathies on all of them, but it’s instructive to note the Chair and the two Vice Chairs were all appointed after Biden took office…

The gunquacks for due process-free prior restraints and confiscations are gonna have a field day with this one!

The Make People Who Buy Guns Legally Pay for Our Democrat Constituents Who Don’t Act

Pascrell and Davis Reintroduce Gun Violence Prevention and Safe Communities Act [More]

That’s this hate-filled domestic enemy who is trying to criminalize his political opponents…

This is a noisemaking publicity move to turn out the useful idiot blue vote in advance of the midterms. As such, expect it to die the same death as its arm-waving predecessor.

For now.  The violence monopolists are working toward the day when they no longer need half measures.

We’re the Only Ones Bending You Over Enough

Bend Police Chief Mike Krantz told city councilors Wednesday evening that the city makes the highest use in the state of Oregon’s Red Flag Law … Oregon’s Red Flag Law allows police, family or roommates to ask a court for an Extreme Risk Protection Order to remove firearms or other weapons … “When an officer files for an Extreme Risk Protection Order… [More]

Advanced goose-step training and qualification ensure the department is up to the task.

UPDATE

I’m told that last link doesn’t work for some– perhaps you need to be a FB member? Anyway, this is what it leads to:

Replacement Theory

A third of vacancies within the city of Hanover will be reserved exclusively for migrant applicants, new proposals praised by the local Green party have revealed. [More]

I’m thinking this could end up worse than what was done to the German people after WWI, ending up with a similar “pushback” if the global elites make enough of them desperate and angry.

A Snitch in Time

The US government finally admitted in this letter that they were running Confidential Human Sources inside the Oath Keepers organization on January 6. The government also notified the attorneys that they are issuing a protective order for the operatives they ran inside the organization on January 6. The feds sandbagged the defense for nearly two years, and then sprang the existence of these Confidential Human Sources at the llth hour! [More]

Shades of the Hutaree and Whitmer embeds… and how they were coerced would be a story worth hearing. And along these lines…

As I replied to my “small cadre” colleagues about all the hoop-de-doo out to get Trump at all costs:

There’s plenty I don’t like about Trump too, but they’ve been trying to destroy him on false charges since Day One. Meanwhile, the Hillary-funded Russian collusion conspiracy abetted by embedded FBI apparatchiks was nothing if not an attempted insurrection/seditious conspiracy.

All I hear are inflammatory ALLEGATIONS by demonstrable partisans with ultimate admissions that they don’t have EVIDENCE.

Responding “Pence deserves to be hanged” in private as his first, off-the-cuff reaction to an aide is a far cry from publicly urging a mob to actually hang him. Now think of all the things Biden and prominent Dems say that could inspire unhinged Dems to commit violence against MAGA supporters.

All this “progressive” media noisemaking with no actual substance reminds me of an old commercial:

In Real Time

The CRAZIER the Woke Fascists become, the more SANE even long time Toker and Leftist Bill Maher becomes, and is well on his way to becoming ‘Conservative’: because THAT’s HOW FAR LEFT the Woke Fascists have gone and are trying to take the country with them! [More]

Maher will never be a pal, but it doesn’t hurt having him out there using Alinsky Rule 5 against true believer Marxists and all their useful idiots.
